[net.religion] A useful New Testament

smb@ulysses.UUCP (Steven Bellovin) (11/05/84)

I saw an "eight-way" translation of the New Testament yesterday in a book
store.  Each open double-page had the corresponding portions of eight
different translations, ranging from the King James and Douay versions to
the Jerusalem and New English versions.  A useful format (they even included
some of the translation footnotes from the assorted versions), and an eye-
opener for those who think the meaning of the ancient manuscripts is obvious.

Steve brings up a good point. I would add that none of the versions
takes a N'tzarim rather than a Christian perspective and are all
therefore still products of Christian antinomian and antisemitic
redaction, etc.
